STATOR MACHINING SOLUTION READY FOR SERIES PRODUCTION A process for the complete machining of stator housings for electric motors developed by the Chemnitz machinery manufacturer NILES-SIMMONS and tool manufacturer MAPAL has made it to series production. Suppliers and OEMs are now using it to produce high-efficiency components designed for drives for battery-powered electric vehicles
NEW BFS CONNECTION FOR QUICK TOOL CHANGES MAPAL is introducing a new, patent-pending bayonet-type connection for milling cutter systems with replaceable heads to the market. Users benefit from very easy handling with rigid connection and optimal cooling. The tool manufacturer also saves carbide with the connection, conserving resources. The patent-pending BFS connection for milling
MACHINING TITANIUM ECONOMICALLY Machining titanium is fundamentally different from machining cast iron or steel. For economic results, tool technology and the process must be optimally designed. With its holistic understanding of the overall interrelationships in the machining of titanium, MAPAL is able to identify this optimum combination of precision and cost-effectiveness. The material properties
PRECISION SOLUTIONS THAT MEET A VARIETY OF REQUIREMENTS Highly economical machining of hydraulic valve housings The production of hydraulic valve housings is the supreme discipline in the world of fluid technology. Great attention is paid to the quality of the main bore. Manufacturing hydraulic valve housings is the supreme discipline in the world of

New face milling cutters for more sustainability in aluminium machining Optimum surface finish for every quantity When it comes to weight savings, aluminium is often the workpiece material of choice. Accordingly, in the automotive sector, for instance, many functional components are made from aluminium, such as cylinder heads, transmission housing, brakes, wheel carriers or
SHRINK UNITS ARE POWER GUZZLERS A strong argument for switching to hydraulic clamping is the high energy requirements for shrinking. In its own factory, MAPAL ascertained that a shrink unit that is used in three shifts per day can consume between 10,000 and 12,000 kilowatt hours per year. This corresponds to the electricity consumption
No bore without a countersink, that is a widely applicable rule. For this reason, MAPAL has a very successful product in its portfolio for the machining step. The production of the patented countersinks is being taken to a new level in 2022, both in terms of technology and processes, making a significant contribution to
